Lee Enfield in the Tournament of Death

Lee Enfield in the Tournament of Death is a flick-screen arcade adventure published by Infogrames in 1987 (1988 on C64), known in France as Bob Morane: Chevalerie 1 . You play as Lee Enfield (Bob Morane), a time-travelling agent of the Time Patrol transported to a 13th-century castle . Your mission: retrieve the Holy Shroud, a sacred religious relic, before the Yellow Shadow destroys it to pervert history . Armed only with his fists, Lee explores interconnected static rooms, facing foot soldiers, guards, and bears . Combat requires pressing fire and waggling the joystick until the enemy's resistance falls—Lee's strength and health appear as level indicators . Objects can be collected to aid progress .

DOS

Released in 1987 by Infogrames for MS-DOS on 5.25-inch floppy disk, requiring CGA or Hercules graphics . This version preserves the same core gameplay: exploring the castle's flick-screen rooms, fighting three enemy types, and collecting objects . The famous "tiny playing area" is present—the action occupies only a small portion of the screen, the rest filled by a static image . Graphics use the CGA palette (four colors), resulting in blocky, indistinct sprites . Combat requires waggling the joystick or pressing left/right keys alternately, a mechanic that becomes frustratingly difficult as the game progresses . No map or compass is provided, making orientation very challenging . The music is present but considered by contemporary critics as "inapt and intolerable" . The DOS port is identical in concept to the Atari ST and Amstrad versions—a deeply flawed and frustrating arcade adventure .
